Nina's Pov

"Will please just try to make peace with them. They are just like us they just want more freedom than you are allowing us to have. Don't you understand?"

"Stop acting so naive Nina. If they wanted peace they'd ask for it. Now leave now,"demanded my brother. We live in the Rhinitis tribe, my brother Will is our leader. If you are wondering where all the parents are then you're just as lost as we are. Ya see 10 years ago all the adults 25 and older disappeared from the face of the earth. I watched as my brother walked over to his guards whispering something to them. A few minutes passed before they came over to me and dragged me out of our tent.

"But master she is your sister why do you wish to make her their slave?" The guard ,who was a good hearted man, knew that it was wrong to do this.

"I know what I'm doing",said the evil ruler who wanted his way with everything.

The guards regrettably went over to the princess of the tribe." I am sorry your majesty that this had to happen." They drug her from the premises.

"You sister will be the one to show them peace and when you return you will be nothing." William being the oldest of the 8 Martin children had command over them sincOile the death of their parents and using this power he forced them to forget about their beloved sister.

Eddie's POV

The march of soldiers went through our usually peaceful village causing all of us be unbalanced the footsteps stopped outside my family's hut. My brother Sam went out to meet them. "What is it ? Why are you Rhinitisians here?"he questioned angrily.

"We deliver this woman to be your slave. She is the princess of our land. We give her to you." Said the head of them as another pair of soldiers brung a beautiful girl with light brown hair and olive skin forth. She looked up at me and my brother revealing her light green eyes that were filled with sorrow and misery.

"I accept this deed but this changes nothing between our kingdoms.",said my brother and the men threw her to the ground. As they marched away, I hurried to her side as she struggled to get up. Like most slaves exchanged between clans, she had probably been beaten and drug the whole way to their destination.

"Are you okay? What have they done to you?" I asked as I helped her up.

"There is no reason for you to be worried I was sent here to serve you and that is what I will do," she said looking down at her bare feet.

"My name is Edison but you can call me Eddie. What is your name?"

"Nina." She looked down at the ground refusing to look into my eyes."Why is it that you care so much about someone you've just met?"

"I guess I just do." I knew instantly that I had fallen in love with our wrongfully traded slave.

"So what did you do to make you're brother want to trade your to the enemy?" Sam had been hinting at this for over an hour now. Everyday since the day I've gotten here he's asked me this but he never found the answer he was looking for . Now it's been a week full of torture from Sam and care from Eddie. It's hard to even believe that they're brothers. " I want you to answer me right now Nina what happened. Why are you here!" He'd been yelling for s o long it was starting to sound like a conversation that I would have had with Will. He got mad when I didn't respond and struck me across my face leaving a red mark in the shape of his hand. That night was the first of many horrible nights to come. He did unspeakable things to me and then continued to abuse and interrogate me.

Eddie's POV

"What did you do to her?" I yelled to my brother Sam interning his hut.

"Do to who you have to be more specific."

"Specific? You know who I am talking about. Nina what did you do to her ?"

"I did what I do to all young female slaves that wander into our village I take them to be mine." Horror ran through my mind as I realised what he really had done. He did something that was rulers were shamed and looked down upon for. He raped her . Took her against her will.

"You monster. Stay away from her." I stated angrily. If I were looking into a mirror, I was sure to see my nostrils flaring.

"I am afraid it's too late little brother. The damage has already been done." I ran out into the fields where Nina had been crying to me earlier. When I spotted her I gave a her a tight hug and kissed her forehead.

"I won't let him touch you again." I whispered as she wimpered into my shoulder.
